Abstract / Introduction

This project focuses on the development of an Online Faculty and Staff Directory system, which allows users to view faculty details of multiple universities or colleges. It provides an efficient and user-friendly platform for students and other users to search for faculty information such as names, departments, courses taught, areas of expertise, and professional interests.

The system aims to streamline the process of accessing faculty information, making it more time- efficient and reducing the need for manual data management. The directory will consist of two main entities: admin and user. Admins have control over adding and managing faculty details, while users can search for and view faculty profiles without registration.

Functional Requirements:

Admin Module

The admin section is responsible for maintaining the faculty directory by adding and updating faculty profiles.

·       Add Faculty: Admin can register new faculty members with details such as name, department, courses taught, expertise, and contact information.

·       Manage Faculty: Admin has the ability to view, edit, and delete faculty information to ensure the directory stays updated.

User Module

The user module provides easy access to faculty profiles. Users can search for specific faculty members without the need for registration.

·       Faculty List: Displays all added faculty members to the user.

·       Refine/Search By: Users can refine searches by filters such as name, department, courses taught, areas of expertise, or professional interest to find specific faculty members.

Tools:

·       Operating System: Windows 7 or higher

·       Server: WAMP Server (Windows, Apache, MySQL, PHP)

·       Development Tools: Notepad++, PHP for server-side scripting, and HTML/CSS/JavaScript for front-end development.

·       Database: MySQL 5.6 for storing faculty profiles and managing user and admin data.
